The quiet top student Wen Ran vs. the unruly girl Siyue
The day Wen Ran first arrived in Class 85 with a heavy backpack, a light rain was falling.
Siyue dragged her feet up from downstairs and shook the raindrops from her clothes onto Wen Ran.
Years later, Wen Ran, who had worn white-framed glasses and been polite and introverted, would look back on the two years Siyue spent by her side as the warmest two years of her life.
Siyue took her home for the New Year, set off a fireworks display just for her, celebrated her birthday with her, and healed her battered, broken heart until it was warm again.
The beautiful girl turned back and called out over the howling wind: “Wen Ran, my friend, if we meet again in ten years, you’ll still be my iris forever, blooming through the spring and summer of my life.”
